Los Corrals expanding into Gladstone

Los Corrals restaurant, which was founded downtown in 1949, is expanding.

Stephen Neal purchased the Mexican restaurant, at 408 W. Ninth St. in downtown Kansas City, two years ago.

Now he’s taken over a space in the Meadowbrook Village Shopping Center, 6024 N.E. Antioch Road, Suite B, in Gladstone. He’s remodeling the spot and hopes to reopen it as a Los Corrals in time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations on May 5.

“It seems like a good fit for us,” Neal said. “We have a lot of customers from that area.”

Los Corrals is known for its housemade tortilla chips. It also sells its hot and mild sauces in area grocery stores.

Meadowbrook Village Shopping Center is scheduled to be remodeled starting in June, including new landscaping and new lighting. The owners hope that will bring in other new restaurant and retail tenants.

“It’s a 40-year-old center and you need to bring up those standards to today’s standards with amenities that consumers are looking for,” said Andrew Osman, broker for ARO Real Estate in Overland Park, owner of Meadowbrook.

Why did the Golden Corral restaurant and Berbiglia close on Church Road near Liberty?

Bob McDevitt, spokesman for Golden Corral, said the restaurant closed on Feb. 13 by the franchisee for a combination of reasons: “The lease was due to expire and a remodel was required on the existing building. The amount of investment needed to upgrade the building to make extending the lease viable was not warranted based on the business that the restaurant was generating. Golden Corral is disappointed to have left the community but there is a Golden Corral in Tiffany Springs on Skyview Avenue.”

Berbiglia Wine Spirits closed its Church Road store in late January. Berbiglia officials did not return return phone calls. The building was sold to Liberty Hospital for an urgent care center and occupational medicine clinic scheduled to open in early October.
